Definitions

  • the invention relates to a strand guiding device, designed and arranged for guiding strands of the tobacco processing industry, comprising a housing having at least one strand passageway extending through the housing, wherein within the or each strand passage channel a format guide for the strand to be led is arranged, the or each Format guide is designed as a radially adjustable multipoint storage.
  • the invention relates to a measuring arrangement, designed and set up for measuring strands of the tobacco processing industry, comprising a measuring head with at least one measuring station, wherein within the measuring head at least one strand passage channel is formed and the measuring head is assigned at least one strand guiding device for the strand to be measured ,
  • the invention also relates to a strand production machine for producing strands of the tobacco processing industry with a strand guiding device and / or a measuring arrangement.
  • Such strand guiding devices are used in the tobacco processing industry to guide strands, that is, endless strands or strand sections of tobacco, blends of tobacco, filter material or other materials and blends of materials suitable for making cigarettes, cigarillos or the like.
  • the strands and strand sections are subject to stress due to their length or external loads, e.g. by transport or other processing operations, such as the cutting operations for separating the strands into strand sections, vibrations.
  • vibrations and / or the sagging of a poorly-managed strand cause it to be subjected to additional stresses and, in particular, to fracture due to the high speeds at which the strands and strand sections are transported.
  • the strand guiding device usually comprises a format guide, which is known to be a format part which is closely tolerated with respect to its inner diameter with respect to the outer diameter of the strand to be transported and conveyed, so that the strand guided and transported in the format part lies in the format part with little play or play.
  • a format guide which is known to be a format part which is closely tolerated with respect to its inner diameter with respect to the outer diameter of the strand to be transported and conveyed, so that the strand guided and transported in the format part lies in the format part with little play or play.
  • Each usually permanently installed format part is in each case designed for a format, ie a strand diameter.
  • the guiding of the strands or strand sections is particularly important in measuring arrangements of the type mentioned at the beginning, since inaccurate guidance and the oscillation of the strands or strand sections lead to inaccurate measurement results.
  • the stations upstream and / or downstream of the measuring station initiate vibrations on the strand for the purpose of carrying out different machining operations and the transport itself, which vibrations lead to a negative influence on the measurement results.
  • the measuring arrangement has a guide, by means of which the vibrations are at least partially suppressed. More precisely, a strand guiding device is associated with the measuring head, by means of which the strand is calmed and guided.
  • a measuring arrangement with a strand guiding device or a strand production machine with a strand guiding device and / or a measuring arrangement strands or strand sections of different formats should be guided, measured and produced.
  • a brand change usually requires the adaptation of the format guide to a changed diameter of the strand.
  • the measuring arrangement for example, the density of the strand, the nature and / or composition of the strand, the envelope or other parameters can be measured by optical measuring systems, by infrared technology or by other conventional measuring methods and measuring systems by means of the or each measuring station.
  • the document DE 1 180 662 discloses a strand guiding device.
  • the format guide described therein is formed by a ring made of deformable material.
  • This ring is pressurized axially by means of an adjustable element, wherein the pressure changes lead to a change in the cross section of the ring.
  • this constructive solution involves a number of disadvantages that stand in the way of an exact measurement.
  • the ring of deformable material ensures insufficient centering, since the center can move through the change of the guide cross-section of the ring.
  • the center of the guide ring is not reproducibly adjustable, which leads to measurement inaccuracies.
  • the desired high measurement accuracy requires a very small annular gap between the strand and the guide body.
  • the guide ring is made of a deformable, compliant material, which equates to unfavorable hysteresis behavior. This means that the guide ring can continue to deform even after the introduction of the axial adjustment force. A tightly tolerated leadership can not be achieved.
  • the invention is thus based on the object to provide a strand guiding device which ensures the guiding of different formats in a simple and reliable manner. Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to provide a measuring arrangement by means of which different formats can be checked easily and reliably. The object continues to be to propose a corresponding strand production machine.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the guide body in the radially outward direction to a waiting position are retractable so far that the diameter described by the inner sides of the guide body in the waiting position is equal to or greater than the inner diameter of the strand passage channel. This simplifies in particular the cleaning of the strand passage channel. The accessibility in the strand passage channel from the outside is thus substantially improved. Furthermore, the lying in the transport direction behind the format guides areas of the strand flow channel can be achieved unhindered, for example, for the purpose of inspection.
  • the or each strand guiding device is an integral part of the measuring head.
  • the strand guiding device shown in the drawing is designed and arranged for guiding strands of the tobacco processing industry.
  • the corresponding measuring arrangement is designed and set up for measuring strands of the tobacco-processing industry, for example made of tobacco.
  • both the strand guiding device and the measuring arrangement are also suitable for guiding or measuring other strands or rod-shaped articles.
  • the strand guide device 10 shown schematically comprises a housing 11 with at least one strand passage channel 13 extending through the housing 11.
  • the strand passage channel 13 is assigned at least one format guide 14 for the strand 15 to be guided.
  • the strand guiding device 10 within the strand passage 13 comprises at least one format guide 14 for the strand 15.
  • the strand 15 itself is continuously transportable in the transport direction T by transport conveyors not explicitly shown, for example a format belt or other conventional transport means.
  • the invention is characterized by the fact that the or each format guide 14 is formed as a radially adjustable multipoint storage. This means that the format guide 14 is not rigidly formed with a fixed guide diameter but is flexibly adaptable to the respective strand diameter. Due to the radial adjustment, the format guide 14 is automatically and virtually on-line to the desired diameter of the test string 15 to adjust.
  • the or each format guide 14 comprises at least two adjacent to leading strand 15 guide body 17 and at least one adjusting mechanism 18 for radially adjusting the guide body 17.
  • the angle arrangement can vary. Regardless of the number of guide body 17 all guide body 17 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the leading strand 15 with a distance from each other. Between adjacent guide bodies 17 therefore a free space is formed on both sides.
  • the guide body 17, which are preferably formed of a non-deformable material, form in operation of the strand guide device 10 with its side facing the strand 15 / surface the contact surfaces for the strand 15 so that it calms and thereby low-vibration in the strand passage channel 13 is transportable.
  • the or each guide body 17 of the adjustment mechanism 18 is assigned.
  • all guide bodies 17 of a format guide 14 are assigned a single, common adjusting mechanism 18. This acts synchronously on all guide body 17.
  • each guide body 17 may have its own adjusting mechanism 18, wherein the adjusting mechanisms 18 are then preferably synchronized. Between the strand 15 leading guide bodies 17 and the adjusting mechanism 18 is a rigid operative connection.
  • adjusting mechanism 18 for the adjustment of the guide body 17 is for example a lathe chuck 19 into consideration. This trained as a jaw or chuck lathe chuck 19 may be operated or driven mechanically or electrically.
  • the adjusting mechanism 18 is also connected to a control means not explicitly shown.
  • the design of the guide body 17 may also vary.
  • a three-jaw chuck 22 is shown, which has three guide bodies 17, which are formed in the embodiment shown as differently shaped skids 23.
  • Two runners 23 have a linear guide or contact surface, while a third runner 23 has an angled guide or contact surface, so that a total of four guide or contact points are formed.
  • the adjusting mechanism 18 for the guide body 17 is indicated only by the arrows with respect to the direction of movement.
  • the FIG. 3 can be seen in which the guide body 17 are each formed as a pin 24.
  • the FIG. 4 shows an example of an embodiment of the guide body 17 as pivotable about a pivot point D guide blocks 25 which are hinged about the pivot point D to the strand 15 and away from it.
